The 5 best mobile gaming Controllers and accessories

The 5 best mobile gaming Controllers and accessories

Smartphones have come a long way over the years. They have progressively
become better at each and every feature they carry, whether you're
talking about audio quality, high-end graphics, or touch-screen
responsiveness, and this has also made them pretty interesting gaming
machines.

For this list, I wanted to focus on the five controllers we think are
the very best, regardless of the price or form factor. My goal was to
have a healthy mix of different sizes, shapes, and layouts. Upon digging
in, however, I found that most of the “ultra portable” Bluetooth
controllers just aren’t that great.

Now, you can enjoy a wide variety of smartphone games, starting with the
regular mobile games all the way to high graphics-rich racing games. In
fact, you can be surprised to discover what your Android device can do,
but you must also know of which accessories you should make use of.

You know that one of the biggest issues with Android is the
touchscreen capability, but the Moga Pro Power Gamepad is here to save
the day. This controller can easily transform your mobile into a more
traditional platform, being both responsive and extremely easy to use.
And if you found yourself lost in a game, but the battery is week,
the Power Gamepad has the option to recharge your smartphone when you
are gaming, which makes it an even more desirable accessory.

This is a low cost controller that might not match up to some other
offerings on this list, but the fact that it’s a simple, no frills
controller wins it for me personally. Being light weight, it is
extremely portable to carry and doesn’t feel heavy on the hand after
prolonged usage. It packs a 350 mAh battery under the hood which should
comfortably last up to 7 hours of regular gaming.
While you can use it comfortably on a bigger console, the device is
specifically made for smartphone usage. This is why it also comes with a
dedicated smartphone mount like the MOGA offering we spoke about above.
It comes with the standard set of buttons including a D Pad, trigger
buttons, a set of action keys, dual analog sticks, and more. It can also
be used with virtual reality headsets like the Gear VR, which has a
bunch of games designed for VR.
The overall experience with the controller should be more than
decent. It’s made of plastic, so don’t expect the best build quality
here. The BEBONCOOL Bluetooth controller will cost you $25.99 on Amazon.
It is only available in a combination of Black and Red colors.

Here’s another product from the Japan-based 8BITDO that we think
is pretty cool, especially if you are a long-time gamer, or just one who
appreciates some history. The 8BITDO
SNES30 Wireless Bluetooth Controller Dual Classic Joystick closely
resembles the controller included with the classic Super Nintendo
console.
That means you should be able to play ports of these and many
other retro games on Android with a familiar control scheme. It
includes four action buttons, a select button, a start button, a
four-way D-pad and two shoulder trigger buttons, all set in the double
circle design of the original Super Nintendo gamepad. It has Bluetooth
support for wirelessly connecting to your Android phone or gamepad,
along with support for PC, Mac, iOS and even the new Nintendo Switch
console.
The controller also comes with a micro USB port for charging up
its 480 mAh battery. It is supposed to last up to 18 hours on a single
charge. You can get this trip back in time for your Android device at
Amazon for the price of $34.99.

As the Nintendo Switch might or might not prove, a good mobile gaming machine should do double duty as an at-home platform, too.
Stick a Chromecast in the back of your telly box and, provided your
Wi-Fi connection is speedy enough, you’ll get all the fun of mobile
games on the big screen. Only a handful of games - such as Angry Birds -
support full casting, though there’s always the option of mirroring
your screen, if you’re happy to keep the quality low.
Because of its quicker load times the Ultra is probably the Chromecast to opt for, though the cheaper basic model should work, too. Pair that setup with a Bluetooth gamepad and you might as well ditch the PS4.
